We had an amazing experience. Our guide gave us a lot of information on our way to the village. There we got a lovely tour by Portia, the local guide. Food was great, the drum session was fun and the dance performance was magnificent 👍.

Pastor done an amazing job, this wasn’t my first experience with him and won't be the last. An insightful knowledge of honourable kingdoms who held morals, an abundance of culture and a reverence amongst each other that few adhere to present day. Butnow, Millicent and the rest of the team done a great job showcasing the different cultures who all followed a similar code of conduct, but in their own way. Thank you to all the team who work hard day in day out
